Oriental Pavillion, Section 14.

Had a much awaited family reunion dinner here. I not been to Jaya 33 before but this place looked nice from outside. On the night we were there they even had a wedding dinner going on. But this time I had lots more to eat. The Buddha Jump Over the Wall (BJOW)was much talked about for th enight. As this is only my second time having it, I didn't have much put much thought into it. I didn't fancy it the first time i had it. I remembered that it left a bad fishy after taste in mouth. As for this place, the BJOW didn't have the bad after taste but it tasted like herbal soup. I must admit, I do not know how to appreciate it.
The next dish that I want to talk about was the roast suckling piglet. This I can appreciate. The sinful fat and all. After the skin was eaten up by all of us they even bucthered the carcass and fired it one more time.
To be honest there nothing spectacular about the food here. It tasted just like the chinese restaurant in any hotel. I still prefer food in the not so clean restaurants that attract many people in obscure places or maybe I not the polish person that enjoys ordinary food at high prices.

Sing Leong Huat, Persiaran Subang 1. USJ 1.

I haven't had much time going around to new eating places this month hence not much blogging also. Been busy running around with family visiting and all. We had a family dinner at this place sometime last week. It was just behind USJ 1 Jati 1 Apartments next to the light industrial factories. It was my first time here. As I had ISabel in my arms sleeping, I didn't manage to get any photos myself and didn't really taste most of the fare that was ordered. However, the highlight of the night was definately the deep fried pork knuckle and the curry fish. The pork knuckle was tasty but a bit too salty. The fish curry was nice and thick.
As the night was over, my sister complained that she had to drink lots of water. I guess it was the MSG in the food. I didn't get this thirsty feeling but then again I only ate the curry and the pork knuckle. On normal circumstances I would give a thumbs down for the food (due to the MSG) but I give them the benefit of doubt as I had not 100% appreciated their food.

Wine tasting at Chateau Bouscaillous, Gaillac, France.

No trip to France is complete without a visit to its vinyard for some wine tasting. This is exactly what I did. There this Chateau near Tuolouse that is owned by this family for generations. You can go for some wine tasting and drink all you want for only 3 Euro. They serve a wide selectionsof wine from their vinyard and open the bottles in order of wine taste to enhance the flavour so that one wine does not over power another. They go from mild dry to the full bodied sweet. I ended buying two bottles from this place of both extremes as my taste buds only can taste the first glass and the last glass of wine.

Restaurant Le Bon Vivre, Place Wilson, Toulouse.

On our last night at Toulouse, we were hunting around the city centre for a good restaurant for dinner. We actually found a place that serves good beef steaks which cost 50 Euro for a 5 kilo piece of meat. They were full so we had to go elesewhere. We also wanted to try our other favourite place D'Entrecote but it was close till July. So I guess we have to make another try to Toulouse just to try the beef again. Then we decided to go to the Capitole for dinner, as we were walking there we notice there lots of people going there, infact thousands. When we reached there we found out the Maroon was having a free concert at the Capitole.
So back tracked to and we ended up at Place Wilson. As I had not eaten actual Fioe Gra before, we chose this place to have dinner. They have Foie Gra as a 'eu plate' (main course in French). All this while we were having pate foie gra as an entree so this is a must try.
Well the wife ordered the set dinner as I only ordered the Foie Gra 'eu plate'. We also ordered the cassoulet.
What was surprising was that the entree came with a bowl of salad with pork patee. It was quite a big serving and we were wondering how are we going to finish our mains. The Foie Gra tasted totally different from the patee version that we had before. Imagine eating duck liver that is full of fat. It tasted like eating duck fat. They cooked it with lots of garlic as I am suspecting that it may smell without it. My wife didn't like it at all. Well I told her that it was the real deal of the speciality in France. The Foie Gra mains alone cost 25 Euro.
As for the rest of dinner, it was definately a fat over load as the pork patee had large amount of fate in it. The cassoulet had pork stomach or intestines with pork skin and of course the foie gra.
What a dinner to end a 5 weeks stay in Toulouse. Fat overload!!!
